Reasons To Attend PhotoshopWorld. #8 February 22nd, 2009
Number 8 - The Art of Digital Photography
After a day of learning the technical stuff this is a time to sit back and be inspired by spending an evening session with some of the industry leaders that cross the border between art and commerce using digital technology as their tool.
The “instructors”
talk passionately about their work so you can gain an understanding of more than just how they do what they do but also why. You will laugh, you will cry (its allowed) and you will come away with a deeper perspective on the art of digital photography that you can apply to your own work.
See you there.

Reasons To Attend PhotoshopWorld. #10 December 29th, 2008
PhotoshopWorld - Boston March 25-27 2009
is a gathering of professional and non professional creatives focussed on one thing -
“How can I Improve my use of Photoshop”
The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) organizes two of these conventions annually, one for the west coast and one for the east. Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of the top reasons you should consider attending.
Number 10 - Portfolio Reviews and Help desk LIVE!
Where else can you get feedback, in person, from industry professionals. If you’ve ever wondered if your work is any good or even if you are headed in the right direction, show up with your portfolio to have it reviewed one on one with someone that knows what they are talking about. It’s all very well if Mom likes it but she would like anything you do, remember the ashtray you made in 5th grade? Actually I didnt go to school in the U.S. so I dont know what age you are in the fifth grade or even if you should be making ashtrays but you get the idea, right?
Can’t find an answer to why Photoshop does this when you meant to do that? Well now is your chance to nail the Help Desk team and demand answers! Or just stick around and listen to what others are asking, either way you’ll gain some insight to the wonderful world of Photoshop.
See you in Boston. More Details
